The Cabbages of Doom is a surreal science fiction/comic fantasy novella with some adult themes. It is inspired by the "far fetched fiction" of Robert Rankin and has a similar detachment... More > from reality. The story contains some swearing and mild fantasy violence and may not be suitable for young children. The Blurb: For Cyril the Squirrel it was just another day. His main concern was the location of his nuts and the daily battle to avoid being eaten by something with nasty sharp bits and a taste for rodent. And then came The Cabbages of Doom. Suddenly, Cyril found himself the key player in a struggle over time and space for his survival and the safety of those around him. Plus, if he's lucky, a bit of lovin' on the side. Take some marauding vegetables, add a menagerie of talking animals, then chuck in an army of chrome-plated midgets for good measure, and you have a story that will amuse, bemuse and/or confuse for as long as it takes to read it. Maybe more.< Less

About lulu

Rich Edwards hails from the southern seaside town of Bognor Regis, on the south coast of Sussex. He started writing stories at an early age under the seductive influence of trying to emulate his big brother, Robin. Having only been educated in English to GCSE level, and at an English Comprehensive at that, Rich's knowledge of the English language is largely empirical.

Although several stories have been started over the years, The Cabbages of Doom is (so far) the only one ever to be finished (with the exception of a few over-long pieces of school coursework). The sequel, Mystic Mog and the Exploding Tortoise may be the second but don't hold your breath. (Unless you're reading this underwater, or trying to get rid of hiccups.)

After a spell in Dublin, Ireland, Rich now lives in Southampton with his wife and two cats. Neither is psychic.
